I honestly wish those of you that didn't vote for Oscar were around then. You just wouldn't believe what he used to do.
Nothing was better then listening to Pack in his prime trying his best not to puke talking about an Oscar claim from a week ago for 15k that trounced 40 claimers by 8... Now that was training...BTW the Horse typically paid 5.80

Or how about claiming Shifty Sheik and almost winning the Woodward or The Jockey Club Gold Cup? Can't remember which race it was.

Assuming most trainers look and take an advantage to level the playing field, I just have to wonder what separates the Bruce Levine's and Wayne Catalano from the rest? These guys would be batting .400 if we used baseball as an analogy. The best of the best chea... oh I don't want to say it, but you know what I am getting at...

Miesque's Approval was always owned by Live Oak Plantation, even when running for Mott. Though he did dip into high-priced claimers he was always well-meant and was probably the best grass 2yo of his juvenile year.
